IN THE NEWS: We'll recap the November elections around the country, give you our take on Rudy Giuliani's welcoming of an endorsement from the "Rev." Pat Robertson, and more.

We kick off this week's "Gay USA" with our guest transgender activist Melissa Sklarz to do a post mortem on the debate in the US House over the Employment Non-Discrimination Act which was passed covering sexual orientation but not gender identity and expression. We will show you clips from the debate featuring Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) defending the need to drop gender identity, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) telling the Congress why it is wrong to separate sexual orientation from sexual orientation (and why he was one of seven pro-gay, pro-trans members to vote against Frank's bill), and anti-gay Rep. Mark Souder (R-IN) condemning the charade tactics of the Democrats on the transgender amendment (which was withdrawn by Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI).
